<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Stovers and appropriate technology
buffs,<br>
<br>
Please read the Jompy message below and consider voting. What I
found was:<br>
a. the 23 candidates have very interesting technologies of
interest to many of us. <br>
<br>
b. Some are "kookie" and even prototype or with limitations such
as high cost per unit or Thermal Acoustic Electric output but only
for a couple of LEDs. And some are imaginative. I enjoyed
reading about them.<br>
<br>
c. Of them, the Jompy water heater is a true leader and could win
one of the three big prizes if a few more of us vote. I actually
had trouble deciding on the other two to receive votes. Required
to vote for 3.<br>
<br>
d. I have known the Jompy unit from favorable personal experience
in Africa and I am very pleased that David Osborne's creation is
one of the candidates.<br>
<br>
e. Note that the shape of the Jompy is quite compatible with the
size and shape of the concentrator disk/plate in the TLUD stoves
by Wendelbo (Peko Pe) and Anderson (Champion, Mwoto, Quad).
(That could be important some day, but that is not why I voted for
it.)<br>
<br>
Please consider voting, and I hope you will vote for the Jompy.
Deadline for voting is not clear, but probably only another week
or two to vote. <br>

Technologies that make development more sustainable are
available today - the challenge lies in deploying them in
the right way. Part of the problem is often a lack of
resources and knowledge, which makes it more difficult to
identify the adequate solution for a specific problem.</p>
